Users who frequently consult Google Maps to evaluate the places they plan to visit will find a new option to help them take advantage of the potential of reviews from the app.
Now the Google Maps app will not only show all the available reviews, but the user will also be able to use a search engine to find what they are interested in.
For example, if a user is considering a restaurant, and is interested in learning about opinions on a particular menu, price, attention or other details about the venue, they can type keywords into the search engine, and reviews will be filtered according to those criteria.
That is to say, the user will not have to read all the reviews trying to find the data he needs, but the Google algorithm will do the job, following the instructions he has established. And if you want to further enhance this dynamic, and get better results, you can combine the search engine with the filters that Google Maps already presents.
Remember that we can filter the results by lower, higher, more useful or recent ratings. In this way, we can search for the information that interests us, considering different factors that will help to have more context when making a decision.
This new dynamic is now available on the Google Maps app, both in iOS and Android.
